SUGARS AND WHITE
FLOUR, AMONG THE WORST FOODS ON EARTH

All information in this article is for educational
purposes only.It is not for the
diagnosis, treatment, prescription or cure of any disease or health condition.

White sugar and all white flour products such as white
breads, cakes, cookies, pastries, pasta and much more are basically
poison.These are the most
horrendous food product on the market today.Fruit and fruit juices, sadly, are often not much better, in
my experience.

Eating
sugar in any form, or white flour in any form, have literally ruined the health
of millions around the world.They
have also cost America, in particular, billions in health care costs, disability
and loss of life.

These
are far worse for health and far more costly than all wars combined and far
worse than most other problems in the world, bar none.

Far
more sinister and horrible is that unlike starvation, disease, or war, this
problem could be solved, to a significant degree, with better government
policies.The agency charged with
protecting the food supply, the FDA, is at fault.They allow hundreds of food products with added sugar and
with white flour to be sold!Both
political parties are at fault and it is a complete failure of the medical
community to insist that the laws be changed to prohibit these abominations.

The brain yeast connection.An important reason for sugar addiction
is that there is yeast in the brain that thrives on sugar.This is very common today.If one does not eat sugar, the yeast
starts to die off.One might think
this is a good thing, and it is.However, many people today actually like the brain yeast because it
produces alcohol.This small
amount of alcohol gives them a slight ‘high’ all the time, and numbs their
consciousness a little.This
reduces feelings such as depression, anxiety, anger, rage and others.

This
is an extremely common problem and most people and most doctors do not
understand it well, at all.Often,
what is needed to overcome this cause of sugar or sweet craving or addiction is
forgiveness of yourself and others.To read about this, read Forgiving on this
site.

WHITE
FLOUR PRODUCTS

Here are just a few problems with white flour products,
especially “enriched” flour, which is almost all of it:

1.
Wheat is so inbred for production and not nutrition that even organic wheat,
which is still a hybrid, contains very little useful chromium, zinc, manganese,
selenium and other trace minerals. This is why we
recommend against eating any wheat and why it is often called an “allergic”
food.It is simply not a quality
food any more.

2.
White bread has been stripped of the bran and fiber that contain the small amount
of vital trace elements.This
makes the bread or other flour products even more deficient in essential
nutrients.

3.
Iron added to the flour by law in America, at least, competes with chromium and other vital
minerals.This basically negates
any benefit of the small amount of chromium in the bread.In fact, it could negate the benefit of
all the chromium in the rest of the meal with which the bread is eaten.

4.
Hybridized wheat in any form, especially with added iron in inorganic form, is
very hard on digestion.This slowly weakens the
digestive system and causes leaky gut, digestive enzyme deficiencies and other
intestinal problems.This tends to
worsen the absorption of all the essential elements in the diet.

5.
Most bread products, especially cakes, pastries, cookies and other prepared
foods, have added sugar.This is another nutrient
that directly interferes with chromium usage, as well as zinc, selenium and
others.Sugar also forces the
pancreas to work harder to metabolize the sugar, worsening glucose metabolism
problems that are already made worse by the flour itself.

6.
Eating poor quality items like bread substitute for better quality items such
as meats, eggs, vegetables and even some fruit.I
don’t like fruit much either, as it is too hybridized today and high in
sugars.

7.
Dozens of chemical additives used in most breads, cakes, pastries and other
flour products are toxic, especially for the sensitive digestive tracts of
children.This just further ruins digestion and
creates more mineral deficiencies and intestinal disease.

8. Bromide is required by law for baked
products in America.This is
another insane law, like enrichment with iron and so many others by the Food
and Drug Adminstration.

Bromide
interferes with iodine in the food, competing with it for absorption and
utilization.This is one reason
for all the hypothyroid problems in America and in any nation that eats this
chemical in all the breads, pastries and many other wheat products.

Iodine
is needed in every cell to prevent cancer and many other functions.For more information about this, see
the article on this site about Iodine.Low iodine, as with low zinc, lowers
intelligence, influences behavior, causes depression, fatigue and many more
serious problems.

9. Unwise laws also allow and even
encourage bleaching of flour with chlorine-containing bleaches.These have many damaging effects.Chlorine is one of the most harmful
elements, unless it is in salt.

Chlorides
compete with iodine, causing iodine deficiency in practically the entire
American population.Chlorine
residue in the flour turns extremely toxic when baked, forming various
chlorinated compounds that are similar to pesticides called chlorinated
hydrocarbons.These are among the
most toxic products known to mankind.
